Today I have chosen It Is Well for another of my favorite hymns. This is another song where the lyrics speak peace to my heart. I love this verse: "My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!"
Whatever is going on around me I can have peace. I can't see the big picture now. I only see a small amount of what is going on. I may question God's timing and reasoning, but in the end we know He is in charge, He has a plan, and His way is perfect. I can be at peace knowing it is well with my soul. In the end, that is what is going to matter.
Hope your weekend is fun and relaxing!

I love, love, love this song!

ReplyDeleteIt SO blesses my soul...to know that ALL IS WELL!!!
Have a GREAT weekend.
This is my all time favorite hymn! When I die, I want it to be sung at my funeral. This morning I played for a funeral and it is one that I played during the prelude. I also included it on the CD I made for my mother.
ReplyDeleteI too enjoy this hymn. It is a beautiful hymn and the words are very calming. Yes, it is true, we sometimes don't see the whole picture and ask questions (well it is true for me). I just have to trust that Father knows best.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your favoirte hymns for Thankful Thursday.
Be blessed today and always.
